Biosketch of Dr Michael Rivera:
Dr Michael Rivera is a Filipino-Chinese biological anthropologist, writer, public speaker and interdisciplinary researcher. He is Hong Kong’s very first bioanthropologist.

Obtaining his PhD in 2019 from the University of Cambridge, his main research focuses on human skeletal biology, history of anthropological science, and human evolution over the last six million years. His PhD research involved reconstructing the diets, health profiles and physical activities through analysis of bones and teeth.
